1. A magnetic resonance (MR) device for magnetic resonance imaging of a body placed in an examination volume, the MR device comprising:

  • a main magnet for generating a stationary and substantially homogeneous main magnetic field in the examination volume; and

    an RF coil arrangement for generating RF fields in the examination volume and/or for receiving MR signals from the body, whereinthe RF coil arrangement comprises at least four independent resonator elements which are adjacently arranged in or near the examination volume,adjacent resonator elements are alternately tuned to one of two or more different MR resonance frequencies, andeach resonator element is associated with a separate signal transmission and/or signal reception channel of the MR device.
